A* SP2 my hard riding gloves
A* SP3 for more comfortable rides
Joe Rocket Blaster 2.0 gloves that lasted 3 years and were finally junked a week ago.
How are you liking the longer gloves versus the ones that stop at the wrist? Are you using those only for cold weather or just average riding? I'm looking for my first pair!
been wearing these "Held - Season" gloves for a second season of riding now and must say that I'm very pleased with them, a combination of both Gore-Tex and goatskin. Their only minor inconvenience is that the wrist tightening strap keeps sticking to the mesh inner lining of my jacket, but that really isn't worth mentioning.

Gauntlet gloves offer more protection but are not necessarily warmer then short gloves. My gauntlets flow more air and are cooler then my shorties.
I only wear gauntlets now for the most part. My shorties will come out at times but other then short trips around the block and such they stay in the closet.

Why are you wearing your gloves under your jacket sleeves? I would open up the rear of the gauntlet and wear them on top of the sleeve like they were meant to be.

Why is the sky blue and white? God is a PSU fan...

I'm going to end up buying some gauntlets for my first pair of gloves. I plan on riding my bike a lot this season. Better to be safe, than sorry!

has anybody ever owned a pair of the AXO KR8 gloves before? I see a special at motorcyclecloseouts.com and they have it there for $20. Thoughts and feedback on the glove?

They are nice gloves bit they don't have Amy sizes really so unless you fit small, xs, or xxl you are put of luck
ha! you are so right. Didn't even notice that. lol, whoops! Would it be out of place to start posting jackets on this thread? Was thinking of finding an old thread and start posting on that unless it's cool if i post here. But thank you for the feedback!
Probably faulty production. You should ask for a new pair or a refund.
Still a bit weird a* doesn't do better quality checks.
So...yup. You sound like a Norwegian.
Since I posted in 2010, I have switched to Alpine Stars Thunder gloves. Still thinking about Handroids, but havent ever worn guantlets, so that keeps me from commiting to them.
LOL I know my english is totally ruined by not speaking it enough, just typing it. I used to talk proper english with an american accent when I went to international school.

Your English sounds good, bro. I didn't have any trouble understanding you, or your disappointment in Alpine Stars.
Hearing you talk made me think of an ex-girlfriend that I havent thought about in years. She is from Norway, as well.
